<a name="index-parameters_002c-c_002b_002b-abi"></a>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fCXX_005fGUARD_005fTYPE"></a>Target Hook: <em>tree</em> <strong>TARGET_CXX_GUARD_TYPE</strong> <em>(void)</em></dt>
<dd><p>Define this hook to override the integer type used for guard variables.
These are used to implement one-time construction of static objects.  The
default is long_long_integer_type_node.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fCXX_005fGUARD_005fMASK_005fBIT"></a>Target Hook: <em>bool</em> <strong>TARGET_CXX_GUARD_MASK_BIT</strong> <em>(void)</em></dt>
<dd><p>This hook determines how guard variables are used.  It should return
<code>false</code> (the default) if the first byte should be used.  A return value of
<code>true</code> indicates that only the least significant bit should be used.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fCXX_005fGET_005fCOOKIE_005fSIZE"></a>Target Hook: <em>tree</em> <strong>TARGET_CXX_GET_COOKIE_SIZE</strong> <em>(tree <var>type</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>This hook returns the size of the cookie to use when allocating an array
whose elements have the indicated <var>type</var>.  Assumes that it is already
known that a cookie is needed.  The default is
<code>max(sizeof (size_t), alignof(type))</code>, as defined in section 2.7 of the
IA64/Generic C++ ABI.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fCXX_005fCOOKIE_005fHAS_005fSIZE"></a>Target Hook: <em>bool</em> <strong>TARGET_CXX_COOKIE_HAS_SIZE</strong> <em>(void)</em></dt>
<dd><p>This hook should return <code>true</code> if the element size should be stored in
array cookies.  The default is to return <code>false</code>.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fCXX_005fIMPORT_005fEXPORT_005fCLASS"></a>Target Hook: <em>int</em> <strong>TARGET_CXX_IMPORT_EXPORT_CLASS</strong> <em>(tree <var>type</var>, int <var>import_export</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>If defined by a backend this hook allows the decision made to export
class <var>type</var> to be overruled.  Upon entry <var>import_export</var>
will contain 1 if the class is going to be exported, -1 if it is going
to be imported and 0 otherwise.  This function should return the
modified value and perform any other actions necessary to support the
backend&rsquo;s targeted operating system.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fCXX_005fCDTOR_005fRETURNS_005fTHIS"></a>Target Hook: <em>bool</em> <strong>TARGET_CXX_CDTOR_RETURNS_THIS</strong> <em>(void)</em></dt>
<dd><p>This hook should return <code>true</code> if constructors and destructors return
the address of the object created/destroyed.  The default is to return
<code>false</code>.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fCXX_005fKEY_005fMETHOD_005fMAY_005fBE_005fINLINE"></a>Target Hook: <em>bool</em> <strong>TARGET_CXX_KEY_METHOD_MAY_BE_INLINE</strong> <em>(void)</em></dt>
<dd><p>This hook returns true if the key method for a class (i.e., the method
which, if defined in the current translation unit, causes the virtual
table to be emitted) may be an inline function.  Under the standard
Itanium C++ ABI the key method may be an inline function so long as
the function is not declared inline in the class definition.  Under
some variants of the ABI, an inline function can never be the key
method.  The default is to return <code>true</code>.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fCXX_005fDETERMINE_005fCLASS_005fDATA_005fVISIBILITY"></a>Target Hook: <em>void</em> <strong>TARGET_CXX_DETERMINE_CLASS_DATA_VISIBILITY</strong> <em>(tree <var>decl</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p><var>decl</var> is a virtual table, virtual table table, typeinfo object, or other similar implicit class data object that will be emitted with external linkage in this translation unit.  No ELF visibility has been explicitly specified.  If the target needs to specify a visibility other than that of the containing class, use this hook to set <code>DECL_VISIBILITY</code> and <code>DECL_VISIBILITY_SPECIFIED</code>.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fCXX_005fCLASS_005fDATA_005fALWAYS_005fCOMDAT"></a>Target Hook: <em>bool</em> <strong>TARGET_CXX_CLASS_DATA_ALWAYS_COMDAT</strong> <em>(void)</em></dt>
<dd><p>This hook returns true (the default) if virtual tables and other
similar implicit class data objects are always COMDAT if they have
external linkage.  If this hook returns false, then class data for
classes whose virtual table will be emitted in only one translation
unit will not be COMDAT.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fCXX_005fLIBRARY_005fRTTI_005fCOMDAT"></a>Target Hook: <em>bool</em> <strong>TARGET_CXX_LIBRARY_RTTI_COMDAT</strong> <em>(void)</em></dt>
<dd><p>This hook returns true (the default) if the RTTI information for
the basic types which is defined in the C++ runtime should always
be COMDAT, false if it should not be COMDAT.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fCXX_005fUSE_005fAEABI_005fATEXIT"></a>Target Hook: <em>bool</em> <strong>TARGET_CXX_USE_AEABI_ATEXIT</strong> <em>(void)</em></dt>
<dd><p>This hook returns true if <code>__aeabi_atexit</code> (as defined by the ARM EABI)
should be used to register static destructors when <samp>-fuse-cxa-atexit</samp>
is in effect.  The default is to return false to use <code>__cxa_atexit</code>.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fCXX_005fUSE_005fATEXIT_005fFOR_005fCXA_005fATEXIT"></a>Target Hook: <em>bool</em> <strong>TARGET_CXX_USE_ATEXIT_FOR_CXA_ATEXIT</strong> <em>(void)</em></dt>
<dd><p>This hook returns true if the target <code>atexit</code> function can be used
in the same manner as <code>__cxa_atexit</code> to register C++ static
destructors. This requires that <code>atexit</code>-registered functions in
shared libraries are run in the correct order when the libraries are
unloaded. The default is to return false.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fCXX_005fADJUST_005fCLASS_005fAT_005fDEFINITION"></a>Target Hook: <em>void</em> <strong>TARGET_CXX_ADJUST_CLASS_AT_DEFINITION</strong> <em>(tree <var>type</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p><var>type</var> is a C++ class (i.e., RECORD_TYPE or UNION_TYPE) that has just been defined.  Use this hook to make adjustments to the class (eg, tweak visibility or perform any other required target modifications).
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fCXX_005fDECL_005fMANGLING_005fCONTEXT"></a>Target Hook: <em>tree</em> <strong>TARGET_CXX_DECL_MANGLING_CONTEXT</strong> <em>(const_tree <var>decl</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>Return target-specific mangling context of <var>decl</var> or <code>NULL_TREE</code>.
</p></dd></dl>
